Best time to post on YouTube for Fitness

For personal trainers, gyms and fitness creators on YouTube. Your audience: people who want to get stronger, lose weight or stay consistent, and want proof your approach works. Titles are limited to 100 characters, and search reads the title and description first.

Starting times for fitness on YouTube

Fitness usually reaches a consumer audience, so start with Thursday to Sunday, 2–4 PM, so it is indexed before evening viewing in your audience's time zone. Strongest days on YouTube are usually Thursday to Sunday.

SaturdayMyth vs fact on a popular fitness claim
SundayWhat you eat in a normal training day, without the hype
